Wonderful stay

A great location. Loved sitting on the screened in front porch watching the sunset over the lake. Rode bikes to Frankfort and back. Plenty of room for our family. Thoughtful amenities (beach towels, highchair). This was our second time staying at Mark's home.

Great Location, Clean Spacious Home

Great location, walkable to downtown Beulah and the beach. Quick drive to attractions in the area and Frankfort. House comes with a well supplied kitchen and was very clean. Beautiful enclosed porch where we ate every meal looking out at the lake. If we’re back in the area we’re staying at this property.

Great stay for family with kids

We had an amazing time staying at this beach house. The decor was fresh and beautiful, and there were lots of spaces for gathering and for privacy. The kids really enjoyed the bunkhouse style bedroom, and the beds were very comfortable. It was great to be able to use the kayaks in the garage and the fire pit out back. Although AC was listed, at least one of the bedrooms that was pictured in the listing with a window unit did not actually have one and it was sorely missed on the hotter nights of our stay.

Northern Michigan Beauty

Such a lovely place just across the road from Crystal Lake. Easy access to the public beach. Grandkids really appreciated using the kayaks and paddle boards that were available. House is nicely remodeled and furnished. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms were perfect for our family. Sunsets over the lake are amazing!

Great Lake cottage vacation

Excellent location, conveniently located to downtown Beulah, Crystal Lake beaches and the Betsie River Bike Trail. The cottage was roomy, comfortable and clean. We loved hanging out on the porch and found the kitchen very well equipped. We took advantage of the bikes, kayak and grill. We had a fantastic week. Dan is a great host!

Beautiful view near town

Beulah is a little gem we didn't know about that is less traveled than Frankfort. This place has a great lake view, and you can walk into town with several excellent restaurants. There is plenty of space in the home that is very nicely decorated. I definitely would go back!

House was very comfortable for our large group of 7. Wish we had booked in the summer because the front porch is awesome. House is in a very beautiful area. There were bikes and kayaks to use but sadly our weekend was too cold and rainy

Clean and Cozy Ski Weekend

Two families and a dog enjoyed hanging out in this clean, cozy place. It was only a 20-min drive to Crystal Mountain. We walked downtown for dinner to Five Shores Brewery one night and cooked in another night. It had all the utensils and cookware we needed to make our own taco bar. Views of the lake were beautiful. Would stay here again any time of year!

Perfect location

This property was even better in person than it appeared in the listing. It felt very spacious and nice views of the lake. Walking distance to Beulah beach, fishing pier, and shops. Property manager was responsive to a few questions, minor issues. We would definitely return.

Great place

The house was very clean and had a lot of room for everyone to gather in the living room area. There were ceiling fans in almost every room, which was helpful because only window air conditioners in a coulple rooms on the 2nd floor. It was just a short walk to the public beach on Crystal lake. The lake is beautiful, very clear. There was pickle ball and tennis courts just steps away from the house. We could walk to downtown Beulah to eat dinner. We enjoyed the house and would definetily stay there again.

Awesome location

This house is located in an amazing spot. It’s right across the street from beautiful crystal lake(campsite in between lake so there’s no houses in between). There are paddleball courts a few houses down and downtown Beulah is a very short walk away. Communicating with the owner and check in was a breeze. Also, lots of summer activities were provided. I would definitely, and most likely will, stay here again.
